According to letters from Naples, the Ame
ricans demand from the present king an island,
as indemnity forth* confiscation of Murat.—
The only country which would suffer from such
an irrangemept would be England.
They say that the approaching return of gen.
Maitland to Italy, has reference to these de
mands on Naples.
It is not verv clear that we have a right to
^interfere in this quarrel. As to the property
confiscated in France. Spain and Naples, under
'the Rerlin and Milan decrees, no doubt it was
iini ustlv taken. But why did not the Americans
insist on satisfaction from those who did the
tfrnng? 'Vhat have the actual kings of Spain
and Naples to do with the affairs of king Joseph

to which gentlemen oi his profession are fated,

time, if we are not obliged to protect the Nea
noiitans, we may regret that they are not in a

The king of Candy was embarked on board

accompanied him. Th conducting the wives of
the king to the Cornwallis, great care was taken
to observe the ceremonies which at e practiced
towards \xouien of a distinguished rank, of
which they are extremely jealous. As to the
king, every hostile disposition towards him ceas
ed from the moment he became an English pri
soner, and every thing was granted him which
could agree with his security; he was conducted
to the place of embarkation, in the governor’s
own carriage, and his wives in palanquins; they
were carefully veiled when they entered their
ship, and while the preparations for sailing were
made—the king never quitted them, and gave
disorders to all his people with much calmness
and dignity, lie was superbly dressed. The
women were received first, the king stepped last
on board. Every tiling went on with the order
i id regularity which is always to be seen in an
high-Ji ship of the line. Some women were
ery much alarmed, and some appeared to feel
severely the *ea-sickness—die king, on tiie con
trary. shewed no fears oi ii,and behaved in every
tiling.like a man.
Naples. August 16.
We are here ignorant of what is thought in
France arid England of Mr. Pinkney's demand;
but here we are astonished that it was not ad
dressed to Murat. Three of the vessels which
are claimed, and which are still in the harbour
of Naples, will probably be restored: for our
government wishes not to oe enriched by the
wealth of others.
The Americans do evfirv thing in their power
to engage the Neapolitans to quit their beauti
ful country for the borders of the Ohio—which
has determined our police s > erely to forbid all
communication with the American squadron,
whose flag seems to iloat proudly over our chan-
uel.
Although, from motives of economy, our gov
ernment lias disarmed airnoSt all our ships of
war, and especially the Saint Ferdinand, which
brought back the prince royal to Naples, it does
not neglect tiie means of defending the port,
which lias given rise to many reports as alarm
ing as they are ill-founded. At any rate the
disarming our fleet, in the present state of af
fairs, is not universally approved of—we should,
in general, have preferred seeing the land army
diminished.
It appears certain that the Austrian genera
count Nugent has accepted at last the command
of our artny. He appeared in the Neapolitan
uniform at the last audieuce of the king. The
conditions on which he has accepted are not yet
known—but it is not doubted that they will be
advantageous to the army and the kingdom.'

The government have taken measures with a view of

These brigands even desire to be attacked; their audacity

But they make no dupes. The most intrepid of these

All vessels trading to the port of Bordeaux, should

says, the Le Gera, (oue of the Spanish squadron) “ap
peared to be in pursuit of” at the time of the attack oa
